Confirmable my foot - forgive my scepticism.
So i book a honeymoon trip to bali (or a trip with two kids to florida) spend $4-5k on air etc and apply this so called confirmable upgrade.
5 days in advance (when its too late to make alternative plans) i get a notification that suites are not available (as proactive hotel sold them all via upsells to general members) and at checkin i get a nice 400 sqf executive room (which i should be getting as a plat anyways as a minimum to begin with) to share with two kids of mine.
Perhaps its an unlikely scenario but to me the word confirmed suggest some sort of peace of mind (like what i get at hyatt when i confirm upgrades there@:-)) YMMV of course.
